Rick Santorum's War

Rick Santorum is bopping around Iowa, trying to start a war. He's a bit upset that the incumbent president hasn't yet started one.

You just knew that the IAEA report was going to send one of the Seven Heads of Granite completely around the bend. Turns out it was Santorum — ooh, ick — that beat everyone else there. Here he is doubting the president's essential patriotism:

But he complained that President Barack Obama hasn't done enough to support Israel. He said he wonders if Obama "wants to be president of the United States or president of the international community."

And here he is, recommending a course of action:

When Israel does attack Iran, the U.S. should ensure it is a successful strike, Santorum added. "If you attack the king you had better kill the king otherwise you will be in big trouble," he said, acknowledging a military attack on Iran's nuclear development facilities would be difficult to accomplish.

If you're keeping score at home, Rick Santorum just argued that the best way for Barack Obama to prove that he wants to be president of the United States, and not of "the international community," is to let Bibi Netanyahu decide when the United States should go to war.

If Herman Cain said something that silly, people wouldn't stop laughing for a month. You don't want this cluck near the launch codes any more than you want Cain there.

Extra points for Google Boy, though, for developing a foreign policy based on the wisdom of Omar Little.
